CPT Codes for Urinalysis is found in section “Pathology and Laboratory” of CPT book, CPT code for Urinalysis ranges from 80047 – 89398 Do not report CPT 81005 if there is immunoassay or biochemical test is used.
CPT: 81001. If reflex testing is performed, concomitant CPT codes/charges will apply. Reflex to comprehensive urine culture (equivalent to 008086 ). Specimen will reflex to a comprehensive urine culture if any one of the following criteria is present: 1. Positive nitrite on reagent strip
Microscopic Exam: — Urine is examined under a microscope to detect any skin cells, bacteria, RBC, WBC, crystals, bacteria or parasites. There is another urine test called Urine culture (culturing of bacteria found in urine) which is used to find out any infection.
Unspecified abnormal findings in urine R82. 90 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R82. 90 became effective on October 1, 2021.
R80.99 - see also Proteinuria. Microalbuminuria R80. 9.

“Microscopic” means something is so small that it can only be seen through a special tool called a microscope. “Hematuria” means blood in the urine. So, if you have microscopic hematuria, you have red blood cells in your urine. These blood cells are so small, though, you can't see the blood when you urinate.
The urinary microalbumin/creatinine ratio may be performed on individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, hypertension, a family history of chronic kidney disease, those at intermediate (10-20%) risk for CVD or those with known vascular disease.
E11. 29 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM E11. 29 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Healthcare providers often use urinalysis to screen for or monitor certain common health conditions, such as liver disease, kidney disease and diabetes, and to diagnose urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Urinalysis, Complete With Microscopic Examination With Reflex to Urine Culture, Comprehensive. CPT: 81001.
A routine urine culture detects the amount of germs (microorganisms like bacteria) present in the urine. Once a urine sample is collected, a technician will keep it in conditions where microorganisms can multiply.
While in many instances the cause is harmless, blood in urine (hematuria) can indicate a serious disorder. Blood that you can see is called gross hematuria. Urinary blood that's visible only under a microscope (microscopic hematuria) is found when your doctor tests your urine.
There are two types of hematuria; microscopic or gross hematuria. Microscopic hematuria means that the blood can only be seen with a microscope. Gross hematuria means the urine appears red or the color of tea or cola to the naked eye.
The recommended definition of microscopic hematuria is three or more red blood cells per high-power field on microscopic evaluation of urinary sediment from two of three properly collected urinalysis specimens.
Abnormal findings on microbiological examination of urine 1 R82.7 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM R82.7 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of R82.7 - other international versions of ICD-10 R82.7 may differ.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R82.7 became effective on October 1, 2021.
BD urine transport tube: Refrigerated or room temperature for up to 72 hours. Urine cup: Room temperature up to 2 hours and refrigerated up to 48 hours. Vacutainer® gray-top urine culture transport tube: Maintain at room temperature.
Metabolites of Pyridium® may interfere with the dipstick reactions by producing color interference. High vitamin C intake may cause an underestimate of glucosuria, or a false-negative nitrite test. Survival of WBCs is decreased by low osmolality, alkalinity, and lack of refrigeration.

For example, urine culture is done after doing urinalysis automated without microscopy if result is positive for nitrites or yeast. Code both 81003 (urinalysis) and 87086 (culture) at that time.
Urinalysis (UA) is analysis or screening of urine sample by physical, chemical or microscopical means in order to detect any disease such as UTI, diabetes, kidney disorders, liver problems etc and also to determine pregnancy. It can even detect any presence of drugs in urine.
Physician orders for urinalysis when a patient shows symptoms such as blood in urine, low back pain, abdominal pain, frequent urination, painful urination or cloudy urine.
Check National Correct Coding Initiative (CCI) edits when coding multiple CPTs in one DOS (date of service) to avoid denial.
Microscopic Exam: — Urine is examined under a microscope to detect any skin cells, bacteria, RBC, WBC, crystals, bacteria or parasites.
